Annabelle

Hi bloggers! Today I'm featuring a new skin from one of my favorite skin designers on Second Life. If you guessed Filthy, you're right. Annabelle is her name and yes, again, I'm in love. She comes in three tones, pale, tan, and dark. I'm going to show you the pales. From the soft pink lips and pale eyeshadow of Douce to the sky blue eyeshadow and pretty pink lips of Candy, Annabelle offers a skin for all so run over to Filthy, join their VIP group because as I've said before, she puts out fabulous group gifts, and snag these skins.

                           Douce                     Badgirl                         Candy

By the way, these skins were not modified in any way but a tattoo layer of eyelashes. I'm using the special Filthy sky setting as well as the pale cleavage option to feature these skins.

                            Cream                       Natural                    Smoked

And here is a full body shot of the skin just so you all know that it's not one of those skins that has a beautiful face and hideous body. Come on, you know what I'm talking about. We've all purchased a skin based on the pretty face just to strip ourselves naked and realize the terrible mistake. *Giggles*

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Teal

Arr, me hearties! This week's Color Challenge is teal. Teal is one of my favorite colors to wear both in SL and RL so I was super happy to see it come up this week. I have loads of teal in my inventory so of course, I had to make the difficult decision of what to feature but I wanted to have a little fun with my blog as usual so I found this pirate outfit by Deviance and went swashbucklin' the high seas.

I found this fun pirate pose on the Marketplace by Poise that was free! Omg! I love free poses! It fits in with this look so well and can help me to frighten off any scallywags that may try to steal my booty.

Of course, all pirates need to relax from their life of plundering so I decided to sit for awhile on this barrel. Now, enjoy my feature of teal or you be walking the plank! Yo-ho-ho!!!

Shopping Is My Best Subject

Woohoo! Thank God it's Friday, Fifty Linden Friday that is! The cuteness is abound today and what better way to start off the weekend than with a good sale. Of course, this is taking away from an essay I'm supposed to write in real life but shopping is always a girl's best subject.

I found this adorable dress at one of my first stops, Elate. It is so cute and comes with two different colored tops in turquoise and black so you can wear it either way. I chose the black because I am going to be blogging a similar shade in the green family later on this week and wanted to mix it up a bit. Hmmm, who knows maybe someone can use the turquoise top for the teal Color Challenge this week. I know it says turquoise but it looks more teal to me. I also found three really cute hairstyles while shopping but since I'm trying to limit myself I bought the one I like best. Clawtooth has really done a great job with both of their Fifty Linden Friday options this week but since I'm usually a redhead on Second Life, Cosmic Love won the battle. Fri.day also has an adorable hair out so if you're looking for some adorable hairstyles be sure to check out both these stores.

Awhile back, I found this totally cute freebie at Magic Nook. It's perfect for me today as I'm putting off doing school stuff and it comes with these two fun book props as well as a pencil, study table, and chair. I can't believe the quality of this freebie! Anyways, it's back to the books for me. Happy shopping all!

A Day Late

Yesterday was Valentine's Day. The day we spend with the ones we love. Lucky for me, the one I love is also on Second Life so I got the spend the night just relaxing and talking to him. Found this quiet but pretty SIM with dancing and just hung out for an hour or two. It's something we don't get to do often because RL gets in the way or I'm off doing something like hosting or shopping. Anyways, it was a nice night and I'm lucky to have such a great partner. Happy belated Valentine's Day blog readers!

Project Themeory @ Grixdale

Last night, I decided to check out this week's Project Themeory collection. The theme is Will You Be My Valentine and even though I think I'm pretty over all the pink and red hearts, I couldn't pass up this find from Grixdale. I've never been to Grixdale before but have read about it in other fashion blogs. (Yes, blame it on me being a new blogger!) I found the store to have some gorgeous stuff but alas I was lagging as usual so I just scooped up this pretty prairie skirt and vest with tank combo. It's not the normal bright pink you see for Valentine's Day but instead is a dark rose paired with grey. It's available now till 11:59 P.M. tonight so run over to Grixdale and buy it!

 

The necklace I'm wearing I found on the Marketplace and guys if you are reading this (Probably not, but...), it's the perfect present for all budgets. It's a silver key on a chain, supposedly the key to your heart and it's scripted so that when you click it you can read off a poem or a special message. I put 1 Corinthians in mine and it works perfectly. It's only available on the Marketplace and it's only 35 lindens! Plus, it comes in gold and I believe some other options so be sure to check it out!

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Red

Ok, ok, for someone who doesn't like Valentine's Day that much, I admit that I'm joining in the festivities with this week's color challenge but I can't help it, I saw a lot of cute stuff out there. It's really unfair the amount of cuteness the designers have tempted us with this holiday. You see, yesterday those of us in the Glam Affair update group were dropped this beautiful skin with ruby red lips perfect for any Valentine's Day pic and then The Dressing Room released its special Valentine's Day collection. I absolutely fell in love with this retro style dress from So Many Styles when I saw The Dressing Room ad so I tped over, fought the lag, and emerged a winner.

Oh, and I found this bubble wand and bubbles prop by Gesticulate on the Marketplace. What can I say? It just jumped right out at me! It fits my silly personality perfectly so I had to splurge.

By the way, there is one thing I really do like about Valentine's Day. That's right! You guessed it! Chocolate! Mmm, a girl's best friend.....

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Black

Hi Second Life peeps! Super tired here from a busy RL work weekend but running behind in posting this so figured I'd squeeze in a real fast blog. This week's color in Luna Jubilee's 52 Weeks of Color Challenge is black. Like so many other bloggers have said, I have lots of black and it's one of my favorite colors to purchase clothing in so I thought it would be an easy challenge. First, I thought about doing a dark blog picture with an Emo theme but decided against that because those who really know me, know I'm not Emo so I went to my favorite spot to shop, Marketplace, and saw this Fallen Cupid outfit by one of my fave sexy designers, TayLay for when I'm hosting so of course, I had to snatch it up. Besides, it's fitting for this time of year and I hate Valentine's Day so wanted to see a shot down cupid. I messed around with different looks and came up with this bruised and battered Gothic cupid. Hope you enjoy my pics for this week's challenge. Hugz from Kis!

P.S. I remember seeing a blog where a blogger was verbally abused by overzealous abuse advocates about featuring a bruised skin so I'm letting you all know that she wasn't beaten by a male cupid and is just this way because she fell 1000 feet from the sky!

Filthy Strikes Again

Logged in today to find that Filthy had decided to drop me their February group gift. Once again, Alexandra Barcelos has made a skin I love. Nora is rocker chick hot with light pink lips and teal eyeshadow designed to make your eyes pop. I just love how it glows under Filthy's special windlight setting.

Now you too can have this skin if you run over to Filthy and join their group for the small and so worth it fee of 199 lindens. Not only do you get this skin in 3 different shades with the cleavage option but you also get the shape that is used in the display. Also, guys be sure to check out the male February group gift of Nick.
